Tonight: NPS Woodson Site Public Meeting for General Management Plan

I apologize for the late notice (I'm just now seeing this), but from NPS comes news of a meeting (tonight, February 22, 2012):

The National Park Service is developing a General Management Plan/Environmental Assessment/Interpretation Plan for the Carter G. Woodson Home National Historic Site.

The plan describes the process for development, visitor use, and management of the national historic site. Throughout the planning process, the National Park Service has received ideas and comments from members of the public. Input from the public is valuable, and I hope you will take part in reviewing the plan.

The plan will be available online in mid-February 2012 at http://parkplanning.nps.gov/woodsongmp; I invite your and comments.

The review and comment period will last for 30 days once the plan is released. To promote environmental stewardship, only a limited number of printed copies and USB flash drives will be available; therefore, I encourage you to access the plan online. Please make your comments on the website listed above. (To request a printed copy or USB flash drive of the plan, please call 202-673-2402.)

You are also invited to provide feedback at a public meeting.

Please join us:
